The XJ is a heavy car, a fully loaded big rig is heavier and higher with a steel plate for a bumper.

So, if the two of them have a headon while watching their shows, the big rig wins.

Why not just get it over with and install a 50 inch flat screen for a windshield and use the PIP function with a camera to steer the car?
